Parenting By The Pint

We're sampling two beers from Maui Brewing while we talk about a matter near and dear to our hearts: always being right!  Just kidding!  But seriously, we do share some wisdom we have tried to impart to our children.

We are so excited to share our thought process while planning a trip together!  Lauryn and I have been dying to spend some time one on one and we cannot wait to go!  We paired this conversation with our annual tasting of a Bourbon County Variant from 2023.

The holidays are fast approaching and we are already feeling the weight.  With Thanksgiving, some birthday milestones, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, there's a lot on our plates.  We'll share out plans, tips on survival (ahem, beer!), and some gift ideas while sampling two brews from Alesmith Brewing in San Diego, California

We're sharing some great beers that support great charities!  Cheers to all!

Here we go!  On the road again!  We have been making little road trips a lot lately and were inspired to share some tips and tricks to traveling with kids.  From little babies to tweens, we share it all and sample two beers from Topsy Turvy Brewery in Geneva, Wisconsin.  

Will there be more of these?  I don't know.  But there is one episode about conspiracy theories and you're about to listen to it.  Ponder the unlikely possibilities we present while we sample two beers from Flipside Brewing in Tinley Park, Illinois.

We traveled hard this summer and here's the episode to prove it!  We also sampled two beers from Northwoods Brewing in Northwood, New Hampshire while sharing all our summer travel fun!

We have all had car troubles at some point, right?  Well listen to us share ours while sampling two brews from Indeed Brewing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We made you wait on this one!  Mostly because summer is always chaos for us.  But lucky for you, you get a chaotic kids episode to get you pumped for them going back to school!  They reflect on their summers and sample chocolate from all over the world!

We're revisiting Karben 4 this week because we needed more time to enjoy the amazing can art!  Plus we'll talk about a much avoided subject: co-sleeping.
